The path to parenthood is never easy for many couples. Where natural conception has not happened even after regularly trying, medical science offers a ray of hope through In Vitro Fertilization, popularly known as IVF, wherein eggs and sperm are mixed in the laboratory to form embryos which are then placed in the uterus.

It is often recommended for couples with the following problems:

  • Blocked fallopian tubes or endometriosis
  • Low sperm count/motility
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Failed IUI cycles or advanced maternal age

It is also indicated when other fertility treatments have failed and when the patient is over 35 years old and has tried to conceive for 6–12 months.

Success depends on age and health:

  • 35–40 years: 25–35%
  • Over 40 years: 10–20%

Our lifestyle and standard of living have changed significantly over the years. These lifestyle changes have led to various hormonal imbalances, increasing in infertility cases.

In such cases, IVF can be a blessing, helping couples fulfil their dream of completing their family.
